strange mounting reaction

Hey! I um, having a difficult time sorting through previous threads and my linux tome is short on answers <sigh> (does anybody do this still?!).

Anyways, I to have a primary partition devoted to storage for Windows and Linux, and I can use it with few problems.

># mkdir /mnt/Win-Nix
># mount -t vfat /dev/hda2 /mnt/Win-Nix
># chgrp vfatSavers /mnt/Win-Nix
># chmod 770 /mnt/Win-Nix

...to summerize, mounted a local file system and set up a user group whereby Root and vfatSavers have full access to files and dirs and others can't access the file system (why I dunno).

/etc/fstab (edited content, why I dunno)

># /dev/hda2 /mnt/Win-Nix vfat user,rw,exec,async,umask=0007,gid=600, 0 0

...my objective is to create a few different groups (like in Windows). But something strange has arisen.

># ls -la /mnt

Returns a 750 of the permissions to /mnt/Win-Nix. Something is missing in my /etc/fstab but I'm not certain.

Oh yeah! After I had mounted the storage partition I would have remount the local file system.

]# mount -a

But that's not enough, is it? Next system restart did mount the partition as specified!

Thx ne wa
